THE BOY SCOUT executive com mittee submits this appeal for financial aid. May it touch a re responsive chord in Heppner hearts, and a responsive jingle in club cof fers: "Boy Scouts of America has been one of the greatest factors in the development of the youth of the United States. Next to home, church and school it has left its mark of betterment in the lives of millions of boys the last quarter of a century. There is no case but where the boy has received much mental, moral and physical stimulus from his membership. Where there is an ac tive troop it has solved much of the problem of what the boy is to do in his spare time, especially through the summer vacation period. "Heppner has a local troop that is badly in need of support and en couragement. More boys are need ed to join this fine organization and they will be welcomed anytime by Scoutmaster Tom Wells or Assist ant Scoutmasters Rev. Martin Clark and Howard Bryant. Parents are requested to encourage their boys to join and attend. Friends and parents, financial support is also needed. It is necessary to raise $100 this month to cover the year's obli gations if the local troop is to con tinue as an official organization." 1939 Wheat Loan Rate Increased On Oregon Farms Oregon farmers cooperating with the AAA farm program will be able to get government loans on this year's wheat crop at rates some what higher than in 1938, according to announcement by N. C. Donald son of Corvallis, state executive officer. The loan value of wheat will be increased seven cents in most cases, and where there is a high protein content it will be increased even more, he stated. Although the 1939 loan program will be similar to that of 1938, there will be these three principal changes:: 1. Rates to farmers are slightly higher in the Great Plains and Pa cific northwest areas. For Oregon this means a basic terminal rate of 73 cents at Portland for No. 1 soft white wheat as compared with 67 cents last year. 2. At county points where rates are computed on the basis of term inal rates, the rates are increased by a cent. For example, last year the rate at Pendleton was 15.4 cents less than the rate at Portland. This year the difference is 14.4 cents. 3. The loan rate on hard red spring, hard red winter and hard white wheat is increased to include an allowance for a protein premium where farmers can obtain protein tests or certificates of protein con tent. AAA county committees will cer tify producers who are eligible for these four per cent loans, and will be responsible for grading and in specting farm -stored wheat. Only growers who have signed farm plan estimate sheets, indicating partici pation in the 1939 program, and who have seeded their wheat within the wheat allotment, will be eligible. "The announcement of the pro gram two months earlier than last year will greatly aid farmers in planning their operations," said Donaldson.

TRUESDELL Canyon City Many visitors to the Canyon City annual "62" cele bration, particularly easterners, ask, "Where did you get that name, The Whiskey Gulch Gang?'" Names for the many celebrations of the west, and sponsors therefor, are many and varied, unique and descriptive, but ,few if any equal that of the sponsors of Canyon City's annual show for distinctive ness and originality, yet few know the origin of the name. Back in the prohibition days the name was a bit unfortunate, for many thought it meant what it said and came to this interior section expecting free and liberal indulg ence in the flowing bowl. But be that as it may, when Can yon City was a wild and woolly mining camp, back in 1878, word came that an unusually large num ber of Indians were headed this way. In the past it had been found that when the bucks came to town they helped themselves to the "firewater" and raised h . So when the report came that this big band was coming, all the liquor in town, public and private stocks, was hastily gathered and taken to a gulch on the south IIARDMAN NEWS Hardman Reports Week's Activities Mrs. Victor Lovgren and children were in town Friday and Larry stayed here while the others visited also at the mill.

Garland Swanson spent the week in Salem with Mrs. Swanson and the children. Carlton Swanson was a week end visitor in Bend. Oregon edge of town that ran back into the mountains, and buried, all of it, that the Indians might find nothing to arouse their latent viciousness. In their haste to get the stuff buried, many forgot just where they had deposited it, hence whiskey was dug up here and there, by accident or persistent effort in that gulch, for many years thereafter. Thus the gulch got its name, "Whiskey Gudch." Henry Kuhl, long a citi zen of Canyon City, now of New port, was the last one known to have found any of the buried liquor.. He dug up, accidentally, of course, four big, full quart bottles, some ten years ago. They had been planted upright, and though the corks had loosened and some evap orated, yet each remained half full of liquor that was liquor. Hence, when the "62" celebration was started, the boys who sponsored it adopted the name of the Whiskey Gulch Gang. Not to mislead any visitors, but as a unique name to go with the unique and unusual show they sponsor, and are putting it on in all its originality this year, the 17th annual event, June 16 and 17.
